Things to do for May 20, 2010

The Weekender

20 Beers, Pork Tacos and a Huge Street Fair

Thursday

Happy hour's five hours long at Downtown's Latin hideaway tonight (that means half-off mojitos and margs
until 9pm), and you'll get a carnitas taco and mojito on the house if you buy your ticket to Taste of the Nation while you're
there. Where more tacos await.

Friday

OUTDOOR WINE

How to Upgrade Your Next Picnic Date

It's that time of year again, when you'll start carting wine-heavy picnic dinners to the Hollywood Bowl and the occasional cemetery with some regularity. In addition to your fine taste
in merlot, you can now impress your date with your choice in high-design, completely biodegradable
tableware. Hey, it's the little things...

Saturday

STREET LEGAL

Silver Lake's New Street-Filling Blowout

If you think the Sunset Junction street fair has just gotten too corporate, man, there's a brand-new
live-music festival clogging the streets this weekend. Cruise up to the gratis bike valet, and the rest of
the day it's just you and the music. Oh, and about 40 food trucks.

The Bruery Anniversary Party

If you're up for a little road trip, Orange County's esteemed brewery is throwing itself a sudsy birthday
party this weekend, and you're invited. Instead of cake, they've got waffles, cheese, barbecue and about 20
beers on tap. We're sure you can stick candles in something.
